Wicked Windy Weekend

I had a fun weekend! The weather was quite windy but not too cold! We had a fun time hanging out and playing with the kids! Both nights Deb and I fed the baby so Diane could sleep... it was great to help out!! Yesterday I dropped Deb off at the airport and headed home... was a pretty good ride but a little slow (maybe because of the high wind warnings?) all the way til I was *almost* home and got stuck in traffic for a good while because of an accident... was good to be home though! Now we are starting a new week... Eddie's school has a Halloween parade tomorrow, should be fun! I have to work tomorrow night but maybe can go out with the kids a little bit before I have to leave... Eddie's last soccer game is this week (last week's was canceled due to rain)... I'll write more later! Have a good day!

How do you "Un-Beta" your Blogger Blog?

Anyone? I said I would try the beta version and now my friends who usually leave comments are not able to and I really like to get comments... any ideas?

Going Away For The Weekend

It's been a busy day today... I'm off to work and then tomorrow morning I'll be driving to PA to visit Diane and her new baby, Lani Katherine. Deb will be there from Colorado... should be a fun visit! I'll be driving back on Sunday... see you then!

Kevin got his flu shot today...

I called the pedi to see what the rules were this year on flu shots... to see if the kids could get them now that Kevin and Ryan are over 23 months... so I asked the receptionist and she says she'll connect me with a nurse... so I give my name and say I was wondering if Kevin was eligible and before I can even get out my spiel about how he's had pnemonia twice, etc... she says "Yep, Kevin's eligible..." and goes on to say since he's been hospitalized and stuff, that qualifies him. Wow, guess they know us at the doctor's office! We went and had it today. He wasn't very excited about it but he's fine. I was so excited my girlfriend picked up Eddie from school today so I didn't have to wake Kevin and Ryan up from their nap to do the pickup... I knew Kevin would be especially worn out from the shot... 3.5 hours later and he's still sleeping! Hope we'll have an easy winter!

Don't call me on the morning of November 13th...

the phone is sure to be busy! Why you ask? Well, that's the day that Diego LIVE tickets go on sale!!! From my experience with other kid's shows (The Wiggles to be exact)... these shows sell out faster than Rolling Stones or Bruce Springstein tickets! When we took Eddie to the Wiggles, I was a very fast order-er (if that's a word)... and we had nose-bleed seats... we were literally the next to last row in the place. Didn't seem to bother Eddie any.... Wish us luck getting good seats... I know they will LOVE it!!!
